Pop these dates in your diary :)
Kapa Haka Performance
We will be attending a Kapa Haka performance on Friday at school by Te Una Waka School. No cost involved.
Maori Language Week
This week is Maori Language Week - we look forward to using as much te reo during the week as we can.
Uniform
Please encourage children to check the class lost property box for items of clothing. There are a lot of sweatshirts currently waiting to be claimed. A reminder that children should be wearing school sweat shirts or polar fleeces rather than non uniform jerseys please.
Art
We are currently enjoying creating our art for Calendar Art. Orders for these will be sent home later in the month and will be available to view in Kohara once finished. We are focusing on using shapes and lines within our art. We look forward to sharing these with you soon.
Our paper mâché bee sculpture is also finished now and looks amazing! Well done to Mrs Campbell and the Kohara children for all their work on this over the last few months - check it out next time you are in class. It is sitting perched above our quiet room watching over us all. Maybe it's the Queen Bee and we are the drones?
Place Value
Some of our children have been exploring Place Value in maths lately. This ties in really well with money so next time you are at the shops why not talk to the children about the price of your shopping and see if they can work out how many ten dollar notes and one dollar coins you would need to pay for it. Or for those who love a challenge what about hundreds??
High Frequency Words
For those children who are learning List 1-3 high frequency words - we will be testing these again before the end of term - keep up the practise at home.
Library Day is Friday
Kapa Haka on Tuesday after lunch
Craft Club on Tuesday lunchtime
Playground Leaders every day at lunchtime from Monday to Thursday for all Year 1 and 2 children who wish to join in the fun. Meet at the big tree on the field by He Tangata at 12.45pm after the lunch bell goes.
Have a great week :)
